What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Front-End Engineer position at Proxima?
Proxima
Proxima is more than just a business to us; it's a vision of transforming the consumer technology landscape and giving B2C businesses the data they need to make informed decisions that drive highly performant actions. We are empowering our customers to achieve their greatest potential with innovative, data-driven solutions.
We are a first-of-its-kind data intelligence solution that leverages artificial intelligence and a proprietary database of over 60 million (and growing) unique shopper personas to enable businesses to achieve greater scale, efficiency, and financial success across their acquisition, retention, and operational strategies. We’re on a mission to help maximize their performance with AI-powered solutions that have traditionally been out of reach for most companies. We believe profitable growth starts with better data.
About The Role
Proxima has a unique dataset most companies only dream of: real-time, anonymized cross-brand transaction data at scale.
We're looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to join our team building AI-driven products powered by this data to help level the playing field, helping independent brands find their perfect customers while helping consumers discover their next favorite products from businesses they've never heard of.
You'll be responsible for crafting exceptional user experiences, from designing intuitive AI agent interfaces to building responsive web applications that make complex data insights accessible and delightful. This role is ideal for front-end specialists who obsess over pixel-perfect designs, smooth interactions, and performant web applications.
If you thrive in fast-paced, startup environments and love pushing the limits of modern frontend development with AI assistance, we want to talk to you.
